162-20 9Th Ave

A midcentury, nine-story cooperative constructed in 1953, this building sits within a larger waterfront residential community in Whitestone. The property predominantly features one-bedroom layouts with practical, apartment-scale footprints; many units include first-floor bedroom and bath options, eat-in kitchens, recessed lighting, granite counters, and walk-in closets. Exterior attributes emphasize landscaped grounds and private balconies for some residences, with a community garden contributing seasonal greenery. Common areas are modest and functional: an elevator serves all floors and on-site laundry is typical within the development. The broader complex provides recreational infrastructure—outdoor pools, tennis courts, a gym, clubhouse and café are part of the shared amenities offered across the development—while assigned parking spaces are available for transfer. Pet policies vary by unit but co-op rules have previously restricted dogs in certain offerings and allow transfers of parking spots for an additional fee. Located near express and local bus routes to Manhattan and local shopping, the setting combines suburban waterfront views toward nearby bridges with neighborhood conveniences and commuter access.
